&lt;p&gt;As the fall season of dance kicks off across the country, we are excited to announce some changes to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://nefa.org/grants_programs/programs/national_dance_project&quot;&gt;National Dance Project&lt;/a&gt; (NDP) touring timelines, responding to what we are hearing in the field. Over the past few years, it’s become more and more apparent that artists need greater flexibility around when newly created dance works begin to tour and how tour planning unfolds.&lt;/p&gt;
